Train Stations in Brussels

Société nationale des Chemins de Fer belges (SNCB)

There are fivemain stations serving the Brussels-Capital Region, all interlinked.

Since June 2012, the new Diabolo infrastructure has provided a quicker and more direct link between the SNCB station under the airport terminal and the main stations in Brussels (Brussels-Nord, Brussels-Central and Brussels-Midi).

Direct trains run every 15 minutes in both directions. It takes just 17 minutes to travel into central Brussels.

To pay for this new infrastructure, every passenger travelling to or from Brussels National Airport has to pay a Diabolo supplement on top of the ticket price.

The standard ticket price for travel between the airport and the Brussels Zone is €8.50 per journey, which includes the Diabolo fee. If you already have an SNCB ticket, you will have to pay the Diabolo fee separately.

Up to 4 children under 12 can travel free of charge if they are accompanied by a paying passenger.

In addition, any ticket to or from a station in the Brussels Zone entitles you to travel by train all day between all stations in the Brussels Zone on the date of travel.
